People of all ages love going through them, picking them up, passing them around and talking about them. You can send pictures from your computer to places like Wal Mart and order them in prints, and they will be delivered through the mail to your house.

The sentiments in it are very true.<BR/><BR/>One thing I have wondered about - in this day and age of digital cameras, will our children even have boxes of photos to go through? I have to say that most of mine get loaded onto the computer and then that's it.
